What's the name of the color of that P bass?! ... It's stunning!!!

Charcoal Frost Metallic. Discontinued on US Fender basses around 2012/2013. This is a 2012 American Standard body with a 2016 “Magnificent Seven” neck. It’s a 1.5” width Jazz neck with a factory “Precision Bass” logo. This bass will come to my grave with me.

Hey, at least I know I’m not the only one who likes the way it looks! Not to rub it in, but it plays even better

Well my last Bass was Squire, way back when, been bored at night wanting to do a hobby so I went for it and bought a bass to bug the family at night, also never drink and E bay at the same time, but I think I got lucky, 2012 Fender FSR Honeyburst Precision Bass, love the heck out of it and is in Great Condition!

I own one of these and love it. I have two I built with the American Special Jazz necks which are also awesome to play.

Sheldon sure puts out nice bass guitars. Finest in Canada. Godin are nice as well but not as cutting edge.

Yeah. The electronics and ergonomics are something else. And then just the shear esthetics.

Manufacturer link?

What strings are on those three?

The SJ currently is string with Dingwall nickels. They sound great in a band mix. I like the stainless steels in a more solo environment.
The Z3 6 has payson stainless steels. I love them a torch more then the Dingwall SS

The Z3 5 has Dingwall nickels. Soon to be changed to payson SS

so those with purple ball ends are paysons?

 

[AB Nate]

correct. Payson has a few different kind of strings for FF basses. Med lights, reduced core, etc.

Birdseye maple pickguard and pickup covers I made earlier this year. Covers are over Fralin jazz pickups and act as "ramps", which I like for finger playing. No noticeable tonal difference, there is about 2 mm of wood over the pickups. One piece swamp ash body, Warmoth neck.

Never played an FF, but I'm liking the lines on that one...

But seeing all the amazing and beautiful serious instruments here made me shrink up a little.
